My 10+ year old account with high karma was perma banned overnight I got into an argument with a power tripping rad left mod. I'm left leaning politically, however if you arent rad left on Reddit then youre a fascist. They love that echo chamber. Honestly one of the best thibgs to ever happen to me. Reddit is bad for your mental health. And their power tripping mods are pretty much nazis

I only use Lemmy unless Internet search results bring me to a reddit post for an answer to a question. I don't comment on reddit anymore or even browse it.

Reddit for browsing hobby-related stuff, Lemmy if I want to get mad at Israel, seeing as that's every comment section and every single post.

Yes.

You don't understand how dead and foreclosed corporate social media appears to me if that surprises.

I don't like feeling like I am a tree being fed into a woodchipper.

I never fit in on corporate social media and after facebook I never found another corporate digital community that structurally felt like home (not just the vibe like Bluesky or Threads which are such false promises it physically hurts).

However the corporate social media platform that has isolated me the most and hurt my vim for life most deeply is Discord and it isn't even close.

I consider myself literally in a battle of life and death fighting the tide of Discord because I am not welcome there, my infodumps and tangents categorically are rejected by the format, the kinds of conversations I want to have are always drowned out and chat topics are so overly specific and narrow there is nothing to discover in the first place.

Edit I watch a lot of Youtube so I guess I can't say yes but I have a peertube creator account and I am in it for the long haul so shrugs it is what it is.

I got banned from Reddit for calling an Anti-vaxxer a waste of oxygen :3

I exclusively use Lemmy to complain when my new Reddit account gets shadowbanned again. The issue is that the communities here simply are not big enough. I go on the Lemmy alternatives of the subreddits I visit often and there are like 4 posts over the course of multiple years

not quite

I nearly exclusively use Lemmy over Reddit, mastadon over xitter and Facebook, pixelfed over Instagram, ("nearly" because I still have the accounts, in case someone needs to contact me there). Although Lemmy is the only one I use frequently.

I still use YouTube and tiktok instead of peertube and loops though. They're just not big enough to host the content I'm interested in.

I only use reddit sometimes when I am searching something on google (i am just adding 'reddit' after keywords). The bonus is that I don't get AI answers when I do this.

Got banned from reddit but in the end they actually did me a favor.

I basically only use Lemmy. Since reddit first tried to restrict their API I've been outta there. Other that that I use Facebook for marketplace because less and less is on Craigslist

Oh I only use Lemmy, I didn't use Reddit in the past anyway, Lemmy is my first actual experience

Only decentralized open source social media for me

I am going to make a more concerted effort to use Lemmy more than Reddit moving forward. I just wish it had more info over here. I think from now on if I cannot find the info that I seek on Lemmy, I will find some sources on Reddit and then maybe pay it forward via sharing my findings on Lemmy. That's at least what I'm going to try and do for a while and see if I can help make a difference.

I return to Reddit mostly to harvest memes to bring here, or to ask obscure questions that I don't think there's enough of an audience here to get a good answer (I'm still looking for the "The Swaggoraki are swarming!" pic, if any Warhammer meme fans can find it)

i sometimes use bsky, but other than that, just lemmy.

unfortunately reddit still has way more stuff on it. so i read reddit. that said, I do not contribute to reddit because there is just no fucking point.

Lemmy only. I quit Reddit when the third party apps fell.

I do miss some of the niche hobby subreddits, but fuck Spez. If I need to find some info, I can access it via search engines.

Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with Lemmy, people are generally much nicer and there's more than enough content. Reddit was so overbloated that this smaller universe is quite enough for me.

sometimes open old.reddit.com when i need info but otherwise lemmy and i compartmentalize accounts into different languages

My social media accounts are here, reddit, and Mastodon. Local community subreddit is too useful.

I’d love to but how tf do we get more users here?? HOW

I have a reddit and IG account but don't look at them. The only social media apps I have on my phone are for lemmy and mastodon.

Is this considered "hardcore"? After the mobile apps bit the dust I left and never looked back. I don't like meta stuff because of privacy concerns. Fediverse only for me

Lemmy only.

haven't used reddit once since Spez's mod-melting-bullshit. don't anticipate ever going back. bluesky + lemmy is more than enough distraction for me.

Haven't looked at reddit since the first exodus. Feels good.

I check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)

Lemmy & Reddit. Subs for my language are very quiet here, so I use Reddit for that.

Got banned from reddit for being pro ukraine and saying the german trainsystem management structure needs to be destroyed and rebuild a new.

So yeah only lemmy for me

Just Lemmy for me. They pissed me the fuck off and i'm a stubborn bastard.

Reddit sucks. I'm here only.

I haven't used reddit since they removed the free API that FOSS apps were using. Lemmy is the only "reddit like" that I've used since. As for other social media, I left Facebook over 10 years ago, never used twitter, or anything newer that isn't FOSS and federated. I've used mastodon since 2017. So I guess that makes me hardcore?
